> This package just installs code-server on Google Colab, whatever that is.

I laughed way too hard at this, because I have thoughts like this bounce around my head nearly every time I read about a Google product. It reminds me of Microsoft circa ~2006, when they were doing all kinds of wacky and ill-defined projects that turned into pure bloatware.

I have just started using Google Apps as an employee which uses it for everything

Me: "oooh! Google Currents! That sounds cool. Is it some workflow designer tool?"

Me: "oh, it's Google Plus."

It sounded more disparaging than I meant it

I just have no idea what is Google Colab, I don't do Python/TensorFlow/jupyter, I don't know what "notebook" means in this context.
